Winter Apple and Cherry Shortcake

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you like the simplicity and down-home goodness of old-fashioned desserts, I hope you'll give this newfangled interpretation of shortcake a try. It pairs fall harvest fruits with spiced biscuit layers to create a dessert that is delicious and well worth the minimal effort that it takes to prepare. The recipe was created for Midwest Living magazine, and their developers took an already simple dish and made it easier still. They paired a canned pie filling with frozen cherries and used the combination to fill and top the shortcake. I made one small change to their recipe. I used 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon oil in place of the vanilla extract called for in the recipe below. I thought the cinnamon flavor was more in keeping with the fall nature of the dessert and hoped it would better mask any tinny flavor that might be associated with the canned apples. You can purchase cinnamon oil on the King Arthur website if you are unable to find it at your neighborhood supermarket. This makes a nice fall dessert, so I do hope you'll grab your can openers and give the recipe a try. Here is how the winter shortcake is made..
